There hasn't to many players that have played in the NHL as the man they call Jumbo Joe, Joe Thornton.
Thornton has had a hall of fame worthy career playing 24 years in the NHL. Unfortunately for Joe he's yet to win the Stanley Cup at 43 years of age.
It doesn't look like Jumbo Joe will get that opportunity. While many expected Thornton to announce his retirement this summer, Thornton isn't ready to hang the skates up yet and is has accepted the head of Sports manager for the Spengler Cup once his career ends- he is actively searching for a franchise to take him in for next season.
Thornton played in 1714 NHL games and 1539 career points during his time as a Boston Bruin, San Jose Shark, Toronto Maple Leaf, and Florida Panther. Thornton has also represented Canada every opportunity he's been asked.
